if it sits right i think it should be o.k, i think it should be the front springs from 325 that are higher (engine weight) and no difference on rear. hopefully someone who has a 325 can help you more.
i hope you put the correct dampers on to suite the lowering springs, otherwise you could suddenly end up with no springs at all while traveling along, common error but origional dampers travel more to suite larger springs

Cars and girlfriends have alot in common.
They both make you angry+ make you cry, bleed your wallet + moan when they are old.
But at least the car makes sense!

If they sit ok, then don't worry about it. They'd have had more weight over the front and less over the back in the other car though, so it'll probably look a bit different! 
6-pots weigh more than 4-pots (at the front) and convertibles more than saloons (at the back mainly), so springs are different for each...
